Answer 1

thats weird mine didn't do that

Answer 2

Rightside player is basically in the same position as a setter, but they do not set.  They are primarily in the game for offence and blocking.    A lot of teams will pull out a setter in the front row and put in a tall RS player.

Answer 3

It is the Opposite or the Right Side hitter.  (It is also called offside or off power or weak side hitter.)  The hitter will hit from the right side and will usually set the ball when the back row setter has to pass the first ball.  It is a little tougher for a right handed hitter since you have to time the ball all the way across your body.  However, if the Opposite or Right Side hitter learns a line shot, they will be EFFECTIVE.
